Community activists created the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund (DVLF) in 1993, after more than a year exploring the feasibility of establishing a fund to benefit the sexual minority community in the tri-state area. Their mission was bold and ambitious: to improve the quality of life and create a legacy for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex community (LGBTI), allowing everyone to make a lasting and meaningful contribution to the future.

What They Do
We are proud that the rewards of the work of past board members, donors, and grantees have given the DVLF the infrastructure and funding to further empower and enhance our vision for the LGBTI communities by:

• Building a permanent endowment and over $6.3 million in the pipeline to meet the long-term needs of our evolving community.
• Supporting full civil rights and equal protection under the law.
• Funding programs that allow us to experience arts and cultural events that reflect our values and lives in a respectful manner.
• Encouraging meaningful education for and about our communities.
• Promoting a full range of health and social service agencies that anticipate and are prepared to meet out needs.
• Creating alliances within the Delaware Valley’s vast philanthropic community; including the support of the straight-aligned community.
